Researchers collect primary sources through conducting surveys, field work, personal interviews, and research in archives. • Secondary Source • Secondary sources are descriptions or interpretations prepared by people who were not involved in the events described. Researchers often use primary sources to understand past events but they produce secondary sources. Secondary sources provide useful background material and context for information gained from primary sources.
